Bringing trusted reproductive health education to the next generation and those who love them.
When young people understand their menstrual health now, they carry that knowledge into adulthood—building healthier futures.
Who We Support
Parents and Guardians
Giving parents and guardians the right tools and language so you’ll know when to ask for help and how to advocate for the care your teen deserves.
Girls and Young Women
Helping girls and young women understand their bodies, speak up about their symptoms, and get the answers they need — without shame, confusion, or silence.
Welcome to EverAfya
Whether you are a frequent visitor or it’s your first time visiting our site, we are happy you are here!
EverAfya is a reproductive health education platform founded by Dr. Gylynthia Trotman, a Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecologist.
There is a critical gap in adolescent reproductive health information. At EverAfya, we bridge that gap by providing reliable, accessible education for young people—and the families and communities who support them.
Because menstrual health shouldn’t be a mystery
This toolkit is an actionable resource with practical tools and clear guidance to make periods less confusing—for teens, caregivers, and communities. It supports early education and reduces stigma while helping teens and families feel seen, heard, and cared for—especially when it matters most.

Founder, Scrub Life Cares; Host of Tea with Tanya Podcast
“Having Dr. Trotman on my podcast, Tea with Tanya: Transforming Every Aspect, for the episode Empowering Health and Body Literacy: Understanding Your Anatomy was such an honor. This remains one of the most listened-to episodes, and for good reason. Her ability to engage, inform, and simplify complex topics made it not only ideal for our listeners but also an invaluable resource for parents, educators, and women and girls seeking to deepen their understanding of health and body literacy.”
Keeley McNamara and Jen Swetzoff, the founders of Anyway Magazine
“Dr. Trotman’s article about periods for Anyway, a print magazine on health and culture for adolescents, perfectly captured what our readers love—fun, accessible writing backed by solid evidence-based information. We were thrilled to have her as one of our expert contributors.”
Dr. Gizelka David-West, Gynecologic Oncologist and Community Health Advocate
“It is an absolute privilege to work alongside Dr. Gylynthia Trotman. She is not only a leader in her field but also an extraordinary educator. Dr. Trotman has a unique ability to connect with young people and their families in ways that build trust and confidence.
